Hello all.

How can i run my PDA application automatically after OS starts?

Thank you.

There are several ways for it:

1. Create shortcut to your application in \Windows\Startup:

SHCreateShortcut(@"\Windows\StartUp\" +
Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(applicationPath) + ".lnk", "\"" +
applicationPath + "\"");

...

[DllImport("coredll.dll", EntryPoint="SHCreateShortcut") ]
private static extern bool SHCreateShortcut(string shortcut, string target);

2. Add key to HKLM\Init:

3. Use P/Invoke CeRunAppAtEvent (Wakeup = 0x0B)
